Chapter 37: Investigating the Family Background

  ♂?,,

  After they left, a maid turned out from the edge of the shadow wall behind, looked at her and smiled, nodded, walked over the shadow wall, caught up with a woman in front who was surrounded by flowers, and said with a smile, "Guiyue, Princess Consort indeed changed into another dress."

  "What's with the getup?"

  "The servant girl didn't see clearly..."

  She stopped dead in her tracks, turned around and frowned at her.

  The maid smiled and said: "It's just that the golden hairpin and golden hair clip on the crown prince's wife are too dazzling, making it hard for me to see anything else."

  "Tsuki ni shizuka... Ah, okay, hurry up and change out of that outfit."

  The maid said, "What's the point of changing into it? Wearing it is enough, after all, it was given by Master."

  "Turning back to look at her, he shook his head and said, 'The reward from Master isn't for me to really wear it and show off everywhere.'"

  "But... Grandfather also gave many beautiful clothes to Late Spring Auntie before, and every time she wore them, she wouldn't take them off until she had shown them off for a whole day."

  "After all, she is the madam and we are just maids."

  "Hmph, auntie, I think even Lian's toes can't compare to the real thing...I really don't understand why master would lift her up back then..."

  "Shut up!" He stopped in his tracks, his face stern as he looked at her. "If you're going to follow me, keep this mouth of yours shut from now on. If you dare to spout nonsense again, I won't show any mercy."

  The maid was so frightened that she hastily and obediently answered with a "yes".

  Looking at her pitiful appearance with her head hung low, he softened again and said in a gentle voice: "Stay by my side and do what I like. Don't do things that I don't like. Whether you like it or not, don't be self-righteous. It's precisely because Late Spring didn't understand this principle that she was driven out. When I called for someone to attend to me, it also meant to teach her a lesson. From now on, don't be self-righteous again, do you understand?"

  The maid nodded hastily and understood."

  “Nodding in agreement, this is more like it.”

  Two women changed clothes, on this side the Crown Prince's consort had already helped the Duke's consort get dressed. The Duke's consort looked at the Crown Prince's consort's attire and didn't say anything, she was the Crown Prince's consort after all, her attire wasn't considered excessive, let alone today being a good day for the Duke's manor, the inner court ladies who came were also dressed up in their finest clothes. The Duke's consort also hoped that she would dress up beautifully, not to be outdone by others.

  The princess changed into another dress, and the maid came in to report that guests had arrived at the front yard. The princess went out to the front yard with the help of the crown prince's wife.

  ……

  Li Lianjun returned to her residence with a mix of shame and guilt, she lived in the side courtyard on the Chu Yunting's side, originally planning to stay for only one or two days before leaving.

  Chu Yun Ting was annoyed that she didn't restrain herself in front of the county king's consort, but instead showed off even more, so she left without saying a word to her. She followed her cousins to drink some tea for a while, then rested. But Li Lan Jun hadn't appeared yet, and it wasn't until after waiting for a long time that she finally heard some movement from this side.

  Chu Yun Ting hastily pretended to be reading a book, leaning on the kang with a book in her hand, waiting for a long time but not seeing anyone. After thinking about it, she thought that maybe she was angry and could only put down the book to look for her.

  When they arrived at the gate, Li Lanjun's maid hurriedly ran back laughing and said that the young lady had just gotten lost on the way, and it took half an hour to find her. She was so tired from walking that she lay down as soon as she got here."

  "Chu Yun Ting asked, 'Are you going to sleep now? It's late at night, isn't it?'"

  "I also advised her, but Miss said to lie down for a while, and I had no way."

  Chu Yun Ting could only sulk, guessing that Li Lan Jun was born with a temper, and the anger she had dissipated earlier came back again. She thought to herself that Li Lan Jun didn't reflect on her actions, but instead put on a thick face and gave her an attitude.

  Li Lankun in the house heard her leave, and only then did she sit up, hugging the quilt and staring blankly for a while before tears began to fall. Afraid that the maid would come in and see her, she hastily wiped them away, got out of bed with a sigh, sat down on the edge of the kang opposite the bed, leaned against the kang table, and propped up her cheek with her hand.

  But then I remembered Shi Zi's fearless shout, and those people were scared into silence by his one rebuke. Thinking of this made me feel sweet again, and my mouth involuntarily curled up into a smile.

  She remained dazed, propping up her cheek with her hand and staring blankly, sometimes frowning and sometimes smiling. The two maidservants came in and saw this, but didn't dare to ask any questions. Just a moment ago, when they were on their way to the Cloud Bamboo Pavilion, the young lady had said that she would tidy up soon, but now she was motionless. The two of them didn't dare to ask or tidy up on their own initiative, and could only wait for the young lady to come back to her senses.

  Like this, both scolding and laughing, her soul was upside down for a long time, until the sky outside turned dark, and the maid came in to light the lamp. Li Lanjun slowly got up and sat in front of the copper mirror, taking off the hair ornaments on her head.

  Staring at the copper mirror and starting to daydream, embracing the mirror and admiring myself, looking left and right.

  The coarse maid from the kitchen brought in the dishes, and it was not until she had gone out again with her two fellow maids that she woke up with a start, hastily putting down the mirror she held in her hand and gently patting her chest.

  "There are more guests at night than during the day, and the kitchen is really busy. Tonight's dinner is a bit simpler, please don't blame me, miss." The voice of the maid from the kitchen outside accompanied by a smile.

  Her maid hastily smiled and politely said, "Our young lady is still sleeping, she may not be able to get up to eat, let's just keep it simple."

  The rough servant girl said two more sentences before she went away in guilt.

  Li Lankun's maid told the maid in that courtyard, today she hasn't seen Chu Yunting all day, should go take a look at her, can't just disappear without a word.

  Thinking so, her body was still lazy and motionless, leaning against the kang table. The maid brought in food, she took a look, but really had no appetite to eat, and reluctantly drank two mouthfuls of bird's nest congee, then shook her head and wiped her mouth without eating anymore.

  Chu Ke didn't go out either, she ordered Caiyun to brew a pot of tea and sat on the kang reading a book.

  It was quiet here, but the upper house was very lively. In the evening, several messengers came, and the county king's wife and the son's wife smiled and accompanied them to drink wine. Even the son also entered the back yard to pay respects and meet.

  Seeing the princess wearing a five-color dress and a dazzling headpiece, the prince's face changed instantly. He suppressed his anger and finished the ceremony, then gave a sideways glance at Cai Xia, who was waiting in the hall, and Cai Xia followed behind him with trepidation.

  She came out and arrived at a deserted house in front of the hospital, where she saw Shizi's maid standing outside the door. Cai Xia hurried over, but before she could call out, the maid had already opened the door for Shizi, "He has come."

  Cai Xia walked into the house and immediately knelt down without saying a word, hanging her head in shame and not daring to look up.

  "The crown prince's voice was cold as he asked, 'Why did you dress up the Crown Prince's Consort like that?'"

  Cai Xia hesitantly said: "It wasn't like this originally... when I came out, I saw Ya Bo's maid Cui Yue wearing something that looked..."

  "How could it be otherwise?" The crown prince sternly interrupted her. His uncle always dressed up his aunts to look like flowers, just to entice the crown prince's consort to compare with them.

  "The slave told the Crown Prince's consort, and the Crown Prince's consort said..."

  "What did she say?"

  "... said that if dressing up is not even comparable to a maid, it's not worth making the young master lose face. The king's wife didn't say she saw the young master's wife's dress, and nodded in satisfaction..."

  The crown prince slammed his fist on the table, cutting off Cai Xia's words. Cai Xia was so frightened that she fell to the ground and didn't dare make a sound.

  The crown prince sneered in his heart, of course. In today's occasion, the crown princess wouldn't be considered overdressed as long as she didn't wear a court dress. However, this foolish woman was being led by the nose by a maid from that side and still didn't know it, yet she was still proudly showing off. Such a foolish woman could only bring trouble if she stayed by his side.

  Now is a good opportunity to marry Li Lankun as a concubine. As long as Li Lankun is a clever person, it's estimated that with just a little effort, that foolish woman won't be her match. Moreover, now that there are no children in the family, the Duke is most dissatisfied with this point. Marrying a concubine, even his mother can't say anything about it. Once Li Lankun gives birth to a son, at that time demoting the Crown Princess and promoting Li Lankun will be only natural...

  "Is Caiyun still with San Guniang?"

  "Nothing..."

  "Did the aunt from the third master's side give a maid to the third miss with the consent of the crown prince's wife?"

  "... is ..."

  The crown prince sneered repeatedly, his face turned blue with rage, his fists clenched for a long time before he casually opened them and said calmly, "Go, watch out, don't make her do anything out of line."

  "... is ..." Cai Xia trembled with a response, but only the prince's wife could do it, and one maid couldn't stop her.

  The young master was not unwilling. When Cai Xia was about to leave, she glanced at the young master with a hint of fear and backed out of the room door, only then did she hurry away.

  The prince stayed here for a moment, and his maid came in to attend him."

  "Come in"

  The maid went out and a strong servant came in, knelt down and kowtowed: "Young Master."

  "Have you checked clearly?"

  "Second Master Zhu Yichan really didn't know Miss Li, and had no connection with her maidservants or other people. Miss Li's visit to the Cloud Bamboo Pavilion today was purely coincidental, it was a sudden decision she made after leaving the King's Consort residence, nobody advised her, not even her maids knew where the Cloud Bamboo Pavilion was, they asked all along the way."

  The crown prince sat with his fingers lightly rotating the jade ring on his hand. Was it really just a coincidence? Zhu Yuxuan and Li Lankun also decided to go to Yunzhu Pavilion, was it just a coincidence?

  "Is there anything else that doesn't jump characters."

  "No, after Li Gongzhu left, she never came out again... Zhu Yuchen has been in front all along..."

  The crown prince stretched out his hand and waved it, and the guards immediately stopped.

  Since the two had no relationship, the crown prince did not want to hear him mention Li Lankun and Zhu Yuxuan together again. He pondered for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Lian, go with Ting and investigate Li Lankun's affairs, including Li Mingze's associates, Li Lankun's mother's background, her character, and even the wet nurse's background."

  Lian immediately understood the young master's meaning and nodded his head in agreement, saying "yes".

  "Go."

  Lian also told him to leave.

  The young master did not stay in the house any longer and followed out, walking towards the front.

  It is by.
